Strange winged Watchers take to the skies, and secrets buried beneath the bog begin to stir... moreSometimes, the world doesn’t need a hero. It needs a caretaker. Despite being called the Cloud-Maker, Nuvem’s rain spells almost never work. He lives quietly on a garden-raft along the Whisperbend River, helping where he can, and trying not to believe the whispers that say he simply isn’t very good at magic. Then the rain begins. After Nuvem uncovers an ancient relic in the marshlands, the river rises. Strange winged Watchers take to the skies, and secrets buried beneath the bog begin to stir. The people of Silverfern Hollow adapt with cheer and warmth, but something old has awakened, and it seems to be following him. Why does the rain answer Nuvem now, when it never did before? Why do the spirits of the river watch his every step? And why do forgotten voices call him Keeper? At his side are Ludovic, a merchant and scholar who sees worth where Nuvem sees only doubt, and Andy, his sharp-tongued axolotl familiar. Together, they set out into the marshlands in search of answers. There, among mushroom circles and lost villages caught between moments, he understands that magic does not always come from power. Sometimes, it comes from care. This is a story about being chosen not for strength, but for kindness. About found family, slow rainy days at home, and a love that finds you perfect just the way you are. About learning to trust the quiet work of tending, listening, and letting things unfold. Perfect for those who loved A House in the Cerulean Sea, Legends and Lattes, and Studio Ghibli masterpieces like Spirited Away, and Ponyo. This is book 3 of Tales of Silverfern Hollow series, but can be read as a standalone. less
